Denial and difficulty in Diabetes management

Denial mode in which a person and his or her family comes to a doctor is very important factor which makes patient management by their doctor difficult. It is known that very one wants to be healthy form whole time of their life but its unfortunately natural to have one or the other disease with varying intensities. Even the most healthiest person if under goes a whole body screening he or she will have something which not absolutely normal, but may be it will be in functionally acceptable condition (that we call as normal).

What we are trying to impress is that very one wants to be normal but due to there genetic make-up and its response to environmental factors and age + lifestyle one or the other disease will come-up, it is true for even diabetic patient. This aspect of disease is not acceptable to many of the patients and they go into denial mode where they don't accept that they have a problem called diabetes and even if they have it they continue to doubt the diagnosis of the same. By doing this they are actually asking for trouble. As all of us know any disease treatment involves not only medication but also lifestyle changes along with plus or minus dietary changes.

Now the Problem is here - till the patient is in denial mode for diabetes his or her dietary changes and lifestyle modifications including exercises are not going to be very disciplined and loses the initial control advantage, which could be very useful in anyone's postponement of complications of diabetes and other disease.

Here is the role of Physician to make the patient and their family members to understand the problem and get them out of the denial mode so that they can put there 100% efforts in fighting the disease and take control of the disease in their youth to live long healthily

Diabetes Mellitus - A challenge to Human Mankind

Diabetes Mellitus has been defined in many ways in formats and mediums ultimately what matters is simpler meaning for simpler understandings for better & healthy life. I call here it as a challenge to human mankind because it is known to humans for many many centuries and still science is fighting the problem. Even after so much of research of disease we are finding difficult to handle the disease smoothly, may be because each human is unique so disease is.

One of the simpler definition I could give you to read is already written here
http://www.answers.com/diabetes . I don't want to reinvent the wheel you can see the definition in the link provided.

My blogging on this topic is not for explaining diabetes, its mainly patient oriented topics or clues or tips for better living with diabetes mellitus. This may go from one topic to other in some posts but over all it will be purely on diabetic patient's life oriented topics.

There are many topics which remians unanswered in many ways to a patient foe one or the other reasons. Many diabetic patients fail to understand the disease purely because of lack of communication between them and treating doctor. Added to this may be more and more commercialization of treatment aspect added the fuel to evil known as ignorance.

Even though there are many organizations which are fighting diabetes in many levels its difficult to point out how much they are helping the patients by enlarge. May be because of ignorance of patient or beacause the information put forward may not be of patients level to undersatnd the importance. This site is an authority on diabetes without any doubt
http://www.diabetes.org
But still people may fail to understand it so I would like to dive download to patients level to spill out the knowledge I have for the benifit of all those in need.
